Tbh the weirder thing for me is playing cat shark but not centaurea. Did you know that, besides guaranteeing zeus, it activates in the damage step dodging a lot of shit?
@@Ironpecker I mean...if your opponent gets denied every single option to put something worthwhile and/or viable to use centaurea on, is there any need to find the extra deck space to put it in?
Socuteboss doesn’t have the same graveyard effect that Dullahan and Alucard do, so it’s not as good. Also, Angel and UFD are not rank 2, which means they conflict with the Splight stuff.
For the deck the be called a Ghostrick deck, they probably have to be critical to what your deck was trying to do. There was a Black Garden deck that kept looping the effect of multiple Socuteboss to destroy the rose tokens and take away all the opponent’s monster zones. I say that could be called a Ghostrick deck despite the only Ghostrick being Socuteboss. Nothing else could replace it.
Ok, I came here expecting to simply hate on the deck for being a meta crushing disaster, but seeing Yamatako Orochi in the list made me unreasonably happy.
Yeah I recognized it at the end and I already can tell I hate the deck but if someone Barone’s me with Yamatako I’m rooting for them. Really cool little tuner
Why does that thing look so similar to the channel mascot of a certain Vtuber? Is it a coincidence and I've fallen too deep into the rabbit hole and I need an intervention? Or is someone at Konami secretly a fan as that girl too?
Actually its that its engine doesn't do as much as some decks going 2nd in other words it lacks board breaking material that decks like despia and tears have. Also if you notice g1 he would've bricked if he'd went first, plus that tear list was kinda bad.
I think we should still call them Splights, cause they're sprites, but they're also a blight on the game of Yu-Gi-Oh, and Splights is a mix of the two word
Frog players don't wanna hear this, but this deck is 100% gonna get Toadally Awesome banned. The fact that each negation nets you a Water back from the GY is just crazy.
@@mattbaltimore7195 Segregation in a video game itself is terrible. That would lead to playerbases hating each other even more and complain that one is treated better than the other. Secondly, how exactly is Konami supposed to segregate? It's easy to say Konami can do it, but you got a viable solution that they can use?
@ A.H Like putting both sides in the same platform does make them fix the problem in any matter.... If Komoney wants anime nostalgia pandering and waifu pandering, that goes for casuals while on the meta players, Komoney can make newer generic staples that are meta relevant or newer archetypes that can be the next meta tier threat or be thrown on the sea of casuals..... Komoney can do that though.... They just need to be released in seperate sets if Komoney has interest on it.... Komoney can pander on both sides without favoritism though....
Imagine the first time someone tries to use Nibiru (or gamma) against you and you have to explain Konami printed a card that locks both players into level/rank/link 2 monsters.
Konami needs to stop thinking we need power creep to play the game. This format is literally diverse and mainly interactive we just need good banlists not busted cards. They're gonna kill their game if they keep pooping out ridiculous cards and charging $100+ for playsets of them
@@Boristien405 the most hilarious thing is I still see people in comment sections being like "lol there shouldn't even be a ban list just draw the out to X card, you fucking babies"
Opened Driver? You know what that means chat! Say it with me! “A Psychic soldier that rides into battle against the Security Forces on currents of lightning, using an autonomic amplifier called "PSY-Frame".”
So the powercreep is now "Handtraps are useless at this point, good luck and have fun!!!" "Also we made another Extra Monster that summons monsters from the deck, as if that was never a mistske :))))"
Right. I mean... there are plenty cards that summon from the deck, so how could this be brocken just look at Mind Master ... what do you mean this one is banned? fine there are still more options like Substitoad.... Oh wow, still banned... hmmm what about Guarddragon Elpy, you need at least two link arrows to point to the same zone to summon from deck.... DAMN! Also banned... Then how about Summon Sorceress? Or Knightmare Mermaid? Or Ib the World Chalice Justiciar? ... Okay, Okay. Maybe I was just looking at cards that are too new right now, surely there are older cards that can summon from deck.... Right there is Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity and M-X-Saber Invoker! Got it! See everything is alri.... WHAT DO YOU MEAN THOSE ARE BANNED TOO? Fine I give up, I wont even ask about Zoodiac Barrage, Mecha Phantom Beast Auroradon or Denglong, First of the Yang Zing... I get the feeling there is some kind of pattern here...
So Konami gives us cards like Nibiru to counter the zany combo decks, and then starts printing engines that can completely ignore Nibiru, so now Nibiru is only useful against rogue strategies that were already having a hard time to begin with. Cool, very nice.
Another "weakness": remove their ns from the field and pray they don't have starter,hence why the solemns were popular tech and people really should prioritize removal than negation
I can't wait for Konami to ban like 7 cards to hit the archetype instead of just banning Gigantic Splight and printing a different boss monster for the deck to cope with.
Gigantic Splight is indeed a better version of what Saber Invoker was for Zoodiac, but with the addition that it can even lock your opponent's handtraps like Nibiru and Frame Gamma thanks to its effect. How on earth did Konami think it was a good idea to create a card like that, without even any downside for its effects that makes it super broken
Since I know yugioh players have difficulty reading, all splights can s.summon while a level 2 is on your field but Blue and Jet can with a rank 2 while Red and Carrot can do so with a link 2. Big difference in terms of what kind of end board you can make when running a non-pure build of the deck. Also Red and Carrot's destruction on negate is optional so you can send Elf but chose not to destroy if the card floats.
just a note, they do not have all the same summoning condition, jet and blue require a lvl or rank 2 but carrot and red need a level or LINK 2. It comes up sometimescause some people try to summon red with a gigantic on the field
I tried building Splight Ojama the other day. Surprising nobody, it's fucking terrible, but it does allow for use of Ronin Raccoon, which creates the very funny interaction of Gigantic Splight with 3200, then Cat Shark to make it 6400, then make a Racoon token also at 6400. You have to do it all before getting 2 locked, since the token is level 1, but it is hilarious.
after seeing the joke with your mom and twitter, and now this one with your dad, holy fucking shit you were not kididing, you are a perfect polymerization of your parents. You really are a HERO player.
interesting interaction btw. Halq summon out ash and the swap frog adds ash back to hand making it a searchable ash. Also can do it with Veiler, Mourner and Ogre (leave ogre on the field as well)
Literally came to the comments looking for this right here. I immediately saw this and could hear Joseph arguing with his dad, "I know it's ginger ale, but it's a pun on yugioh!" "I don't care about Yu-Gi-Oh, what does Sprite have to do with my ginger ale? Don't you have, like, a law suit or something to go do? I'm just tryna settle my stomach, nerd."

Toadally awesome has always been sleeper broken af. Generated insane card advantage. 1 negate, 1 recycle and one SS from deck. Can't wait for the amphibian cancer to cram the banlist
Toad has always been kept in check by him being difficult to access outside paleo frog and the sporadic bahamut turbo deck. But yeah now that this deck can push his froggy powers further than any other deck he's probably getting limited or more likely banned.
Joseph you joke, but the digimon card game has gotten really good recently! I've been playing it at my locals just as much as Yugioh, and I really do recommend it.
I second this, especially for a new player if you pick up two of the newest dragon starter deck you're already halfway to a competent meta deck! And while it has a slightly slower pace, it still has the crazy explosive combo turns that are so cool in ygo
@@Ironpecker totally! Imperialdramon is such a solid deck even just out of the box, and a great deck for beginners. I know my locals is consistently growing with new players too, so it's likely to live for awhile
The 2 Toad negates are so good since you get a water follow up and a potentially good card for every activation, you get a plus 2 everytime a Toad negates a card
My guess is the othee thing that might prevent the pie chart circle is that people weren't as aware how busted Tearlaments were on release(I assume). Then again they only really picked up as serious Splight competitors once the mill cards came out and Frog got banned. Either way this format will be something.
The day Cat Shark becomes part of a TIER 0 deck is the day that Yugioh will have a FUCKING TIER 0 DECK THAT USES CAT SHARK OF ALL THINGS?! It's hard to think it's been since... PEPE that we got a Tier 0 deck again. That's insane.
@@AirRunnersViper zoo? spyral? Even orcust had tier 0 representation for like 2 tournaments at the end of the eternal format Zoo is still the only deck ever to have 100% representation at a ycs top cut
They made a true king of all calamaties at THREE COPIES in giant spright. Not only that but there are SO MANY ONE CARD COMBOS TO GET IT OUT. People thought Branded Despia was crazy, here comed TRUE KING PART 2
"You will all understand why this is in here once you get to play in the format" *doesn't elaborate / doesn't sideboard in the relevant cards* *leaves to play Digimon*
Just a heads up for the digimon tcg, it's a really cool and cheap tcg but unfortunately while the meta will be diverse next set there is just one very uninteractive deck (grandiskuwagamon) that kinda sucks to play against. But besides that it's worth giving a shot if you're interested
One card that I feel is underrated and is extremely powerful in this deck is solemn scolding. To those who are unaware of what solemn scolding does basically it is an omni negate that can also stop summons (normal and special summons both) at the cost of 3k life and being the only set card in your backrow. The life point cost is steep, but it's a counter trap that can quite literally negate anything and it helps to fix splight's problem of hard losing to cards like dark ruler.
I feel like playing solemn judgment would just be a better option no? always live as long as you're alive while allowing you to have more then just 1 set card at end phase
Solemn scolding is better for decks that aren't going to be setting any backrow aside from like imperm. Also solemn scolding is a better card to main deck because it's good going second.
Me at the start of the year: Boy, Master Duel sure is fun, and I love playing with my friends. Maybe it's time I got back into Yu-Gi-Oh. I love those Branded cards, maybe I could build a shitty version of that in paper! Me looking at this upcoming meta: never mind
Master Duel could be so much more fun if they added additional formats. Their version of events aren’t fun for most part and are just something you rush for gems and if you don’t wanna do standard ladder there isn’t much else. Shame because they have a well made base to build upon but at this pace it’ll end up being wasted.
@@1001011011010 not really a solution. Hassle joining random communities with hopes of having more interesting games. I'd rather have it implemented and designed by konami themselves.
At 13:00 the Tearlament player could have flipped Salic to negate Carrot and send Reinoheart to grave, activate Reinoheart pitching Merrli and do whatever they want from here, bad misplay on their part
BTW there is an advantage to play instant fusion/ready fusion instead of etele. You can side out your gamma but also you get the double atk from gigantic slight which matters, you can then double the atk again because the original atk of gigantic slight is 3200.
it's crazy that THIS is where Konami drew the line in the sand for Halq when to be perfectly honest you dont even need or really want Halq cause it's just kinda worse than the link monster Slight already has also, am I the only one who doesnt expect bans for this archetype? what I DO see happening is erratas. make all of the extra deck require Thunder or something wonder if TCG will get back Spellbook of Judgement like OCG did
@@like17badgers and it was banned for a few years before that, it's only saving grace being that it was a card from the anime that was posed to be the MCs ace before they realized the massive fuck-up they did on its design, so they had incentives to errata it.
@@like17badgers Firewall had the might of the anime behind it, so konami wanted to get it off the banlist in any way possible. It was also top 5 badly designed cards of all time, so konami couldn't unban it without summoning the wrath of 20 ftks. That's why it got errata'd. Splight is just getting banned once Konami makes their money.
_Artemate Slay_ from POTE (Power of the Elements)! You send Trouble Sunny to the GY to negate a Link Monster effect since it's the same type (and Sunny has a GY effect which requires an Evil Twin monster on the field or in the Deck) EDIT: it shuffles the targeted monster into the Deck. NOT negating the effect.
@@dicosirio6337 You send one extra deck monster to your graveyard to shuffle a monster of the same type into the deck. It's like Dark Ruler where your opponent can't activate monster effects in response. So the play is you use Trouble Sunny to spin a Link monster, then use Trouble Sunny's grave effect to mill the level 8 Evil Twins monster from your deck to non target send a card to the graveyard (like Dingirsu)
"I'm gonna go play Digimon"...Me too! Just when you thought things were picking up after all the BS with scythe locks, DPE, syncro based nonsense.....this crap comes out. Think I will sit this one out
You know. Between Mysterune, Labyrynths, and Valiants, I was kinda excited to see that they have been experimenting with new and interesting mechanics and playstyles. Even if those decks had issues, perhaps they were the first steps to a new archetype that was both strong and had a unique playstyle. But this. .... Wtf is this
Remember, chat. MBT only had Yamatako for ten minutes. But if anything happened to Yamatako, pretty sure he would banish all his subscriber and then himself, just like Dark Law did.
Spright Elf doesn't actually lock you into twos for some reason, meaning it can be a generic extender for other decks. Not sure why it doesn't lock but that's just how they made it
MBT in the buyout video: "I won't be playing cat shark in Spright!"

Speaking of copium, melffy spright leaves a bounce, a pop, and a fog blade, as opposed to the 2 frog negates frog spright plays. Seems viable
The 2 Toad negates are so good since you get a water follow up and a potentially good card for every activation, you get a plus 2 everytime a Toad negates a card
The new saying for this deck should be "wanna splight cranberry?"
I'm 100% running a trap build to call it splight cranberry.
Man spright is extremely easy and powerful. 10x easier than tearalament.
@MBT yu-gi-oh welcome to the digimon card game club. where everything isn't tier 0
This is what i wanted springans to be, i.e. Actually usable. Maybe too usable. I like being the underdog.
Yes Joseph!! Join the Digimon TCG!! At least until the inevitable Spright hits on the banlist…
My guess is the othee thing that might prevent the pie chart circle is that people weren't as aware how busted Tearlaments were on release(I assume). Then again they only really picked up as serious Splight competitors once the mill cards came out and Frog got banned. Either way this format will be something.
I'm glad there are other people out there who like ninjas. I hope we get this new support soon in Duel Links.
10:55 they could also play the third meta deck, Evilswarm... no wait they are called Exorsister these days ^^
In OCG it's Byssted right now.
Which is hilarious because Byssted is the Evilswarm in terms of meta placement and lore.
The fact that this deck can utilize Frog engine properly makes this deck really promising, i might try it just because i love Frog.
Deck is straight up guaranteed tier 1 contender at release and it's far simpler than Tears, just prepare for the pricing maybe.
How is nobody talking about Joseph’s S tier breakfast drip in this video?!?! 🥵🥵🥵
The day Cat Shark becomes part of a TIER 0 deck is the day that Yugioh will have a FUCKING TIER 0 DECK THAT USES CAT SHARK OF ALL THINGS?!
It's hard to think it's been since... PEPE that we got a Tier 0 deck again. That's insane.
If you think there haven't been tier 0 decks since pepe and that splight is one of them then you probably got the wrong definition of tier 0
@@andrejv.2834 There haven't really been any tier 0 formats since pepe though, even though I agree that splight obviously isn't tier 0
@@AirRunnersViper zoo? spyral? Even orcust had tier 0 representation for like 2 tournaments at the end of the eternal format
Zoo is still the only deck ever to have 100% representation at a ycs top cut
"good luck everybody! i'm going to go play digimon." That, hits so hard
Tell the difference between these two pictures (holds up a picture of a L and a picture of a R).
Japanese people: They're the same picture
They made a true king of all calamaties at THREE COPIES in giant spright. Not only that but there are SO MANY ONE CARD COMBOS TO GET IT OUT. People thought Branded Despia was crazy, here comed TRUE KING PART 2
"Good luck everyone, I'm going to go play Digimon" :) We'd love to have you. Amazing video too.
0:59 d-did you just forgot to change trouble sunny into something else considering there's no artemate slay nor kiskil & lil-la in here?
"You will all understand why this is in here once you get to play in the format"
*doesn't elaborate / doesn't sideboard in the relevant cards*
*leaves to play Digimon*
"We have come for your meta."
Who in their lives said “And the Band Played On is the best floodgate in the game right now?”
Just a heads up for the digimon tcg, it's a really cool and cheap tcg but unfortunately while the meta will be diverse next set there is just one very uninteractive deck (grandiskuwagamon) that kinda sucks to play against.
But besides that it's worth giving a shot if you're interested
They need to hurry up with an online.
That "Sprite" in the opener is definitely a ginger ale.
One card that I feel is underrated and is extremely powerful in this deck is solemn scolding. To those who are unaware of what solemn scolding does basically it is an omni negate that can also stop summons (normal and special summons both) at the cost of 3k life and being the only set card in your backrow. The life point cost is steep, but it's a counter trap that can quite literally negate anything and it helps to fix splight's problem of hard losing to cards like dark ruler.
I feel like playing solemn judgment would just be a better option no? always live as long as you're alive while allowing you to have more then just 1 set card at end phase
Solemn scolding is better for decks that aren't going to be setting any backrow aside from like imperm. Also solemn scolding is a better card to main deck because it's good going second.
As each day passes my frogs become more and more relevant.
Me at the start of the year: Boy, Master Duel sure is fun, and I love playing with my friends. Maybe it's time I got back into Yu-Gi-Oh. I love those Branded cards, maybe I could build a shitty version of that in paper!
Me looking at this upcoming meta: never mind
Master Duel could be so much more fun if they added additional formats. Their version of events aren’t fun for most part and are just something you rush for gems and if you don’t wanna do standard ladder there isn’t much else. Shame because they have a well made base to build upon but at this pace it’ll end up being wasted.
@@omegaeraser There are Duel Rooms if you don't want to play on the ladder
@@1001011011010 not really a solution. Hassle joining random communities with hopes of having more interesting games. I'd rather have it implemented and designed by konami themselves.
@@omegaeraser Well, they just released that they're coming out with a new mode that isn't ranked. So maybe something is coming
Orochi is nice, I'm also partial to 1 pixies as well as dupe for protecting elf since you can use if from field as well.
Remember when this was first revealed and they received the initial Drytron treatment. Now you can look again.
I love how you played off the fact that the drink in the intro skit was almost certainly a ginger ale and in fact, not a Sprite. Lol
"Joseph... You're FIRED!!!"
Lol, was completely expecting what I'm assuming to be your dad to be like "I told her this was a mistake."
At 13:00 the Tearlament player could have flipped Salic to negate Carrot and send Reinoheart to grave, activate Reinoheart pitching Merrli and do whatever they want from here, bad misplay on their part
Complacency from DRNM maybe.
BTW there is an advantage to play instant fusion/ready fusion instead of etele. You can side out your gamma but also you get the double atk from gigantic slight which matters, you can then double the atk again because the original atk of gigantic slight is 3200.
Joseph Rothschild, listen to me and listen to me closely. Pie. Charts. Are. Circles. You. Mean. They. Looked. Like. Discs.
it's crazy that THIS is where Konami drew the line in the sand for Halq when to be perfectly honest you dont even need or really want Halq cause it's just kinda worse than the link monster Slight already has
also, am I the only one who doesnt expect bans for this archetype? what I DO see happening is erratas. make all of the extra deck require Thunder or something
wonder if TCG will get back Spellbook of Judgement like OCG did
I highly doubt they would errata new cards
I mean Firewall Dragon is right there
@@like17badgers and it was banned for a few years before that, it's only saving grace being that it was a card from the anime that was posed to be the MCs ace before they realized the massive fuck-up they did on its design, so they had incentives to errata it.
Firewall is a single card, and it was errataed because FTK
@@like17badgers Firewall had the might of the anime behind it, so konami wanted to get it off the banlist in any way possible. It was also top 5 badly designed cards of all time, so konami couldn't unban it without summoning the wrath of 20 ftks.
That's why it got errata'd. Splight is just getting banned once Konami makes their money.
Not gonna lie, I thought the archetype name was a combination of “sprite” and “blight” this whole time…
Can someone enlighten me as to what the side deck card that requires a Trouble Sunny in the extra is?
_Artemate Slay_ from POTE (Power of the Elements)! You send Trouble Sunny to the GY to negate a Link Monster effect since it's the same type (and Sunny has a GY effect which requires an Evil Twin monster on the field or in the Deck)
EDIT: it shuffles the targeted monster into the Deck. NOT negating the effect.
its just mbt trying to trick sprite players to waste an extra deck slot
@@number-qx1kw This really looks like it doesn't need most of the ED slots that aren't Toad, Cat Shark and the Sprights.
@@YuseiTheSynchroHero Artemate Slay doesn't negate. It bounces the monster back to the extra and you can't respond to it with monster effects.
In case anyone is curious, Trouble Sunny is for Artemis Slay to send it.
I was searching for someone that coulissi explain this… So non the ne t question is: What is Artemis Slay?
@@dicosirio6337 You send one extra deck monster to your graveyard to shuffle a monster of the same type into the deck. It's like Dark Ruler where your opponent can't activate monster effects in response.
So the play is you use Trouble Sunny to spin a Link monster, then use Trouble Sunny's grave effect to mill the level 8 Evil Twins monster from your deck to non target send a card to the graveyard (like Dingirsu)
"I'm gonna go play Digimon"...Me too! Just when you thought things were picking up after all the BS with scythe locks, DPE, syncro based nonsense.....this crap comes out. Think I will sit this one out
The Digimon TCG is really good, and looking even better now that YGO will turn into only Splight mirror matches
Its just sad that the game is basicly playing by yourself. This reminds me of a card game on every pc hmmmmm. Oh yes solitair.
ngl, I love this deck for some reason, can't wait till we get it on MD
You can't fool me. That's not Sprite, it's Mountain Dew!
You know.
Between Mysterune, Labyrynths, and Valiants, I was kinda excited to see that they have been experimenting with new and interesting mechanics and playstyles. Even if those decks had issues, perhaps they were the first steps to a new archetype that was both strong and had a unique playstyle.
But this.
....
Wtf is this
Judgment Mysterune won taiyou cs in ocg, jowgen pass is too strong man.
@@r3zaful do you have a link to an article or the decklist? I wanna see
@@carpedm9846 it is impossible to play it in tcg my friend because spellbook of judgment is banned atm
@@carpedm9846 ygo Indonesia ocg posted the list and the link to the player's tweet.
I truly believe that Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries will be a good tech card for dealing with toad both in the Spright mirror and decks like Plunder
11:00 Joseph you are a very fruity man but this was an entire orchard of apples. A whole vineyard. The fruitiest yugituber of all time.
Remember, chat. MBT only had Yamatako for ten minutes. But if anything happened to Yamatako, pretty sure he would banish all his subscriber and then himself, just like Dark Law did.
Spright Elf doesn't actually lock you into twos for some reason, meaning it can be a generic extender for other decks. Not sure why it doesn't lock but that's just how they made it
Are we gonna ignore that joe is wearing a BREAKFAST SHIRT
